Garuda operates a fleet of 164 aircraft, flying to 64 destinations, but in March 2014 as part of its international expansion programme it officially joined the SkyTeam global alliance, enabling its passengers to fly to 1,064 destinations around the world. After an extended EU-imposed ban, it resumed its services to Europe in 2010, initially to Amsterdam as its European hub, and is now rated by SkyTrax as a 5-star airline. Named after the mythical bird Garuda, the national emblem of Indonesia, the airline was launched in 1949, and now operates an extensive network of flights throughout Asia, the Middle East and Australia. Garuda Indonesia is the flag carrier of Indonesia, based at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at Tangerang, near Jakarta.
